Amy Schumer, Emily Ratajkowski Arrested at Kavanaugh Protest on Capitol Hill

Actresses Amy Schumer and Emily Ratajkowski were reportedly arrested on Capitol Hill Thursday for protesting Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Variety reports. Schumer and Ratajkowski were both pictured in a line and being escorted by police. Ratajkowski confirmed her arrest in an Instagram post. “Today I was arrested protesting the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, a man who has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault,” she wrote. “Kavanaugh’s confirmation as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States is a message to women in this country that they do not matter.” In a video posted on Twitter, Schumer spoke into the camera and said she thought she was “going to get arrested” with other women. In an earlier video, a U.S. Capitol police officer asked her if she wanted to be arrested and the comedian replied, “Yes.” A total of 302 protesters were arrested, according to a Capitol Police press release.
